Today I am 0x20. It's a nice round number. I think I'll waste it playing Splinter Cell. :)

This week is the Thanksgiving holiday in the US. Next
week I'll be in Zurich, Switzerland, speaking at DevDays. As I have no idea if I'll
even be able to get online in Europe, the blogging will be a bit light for a while,
and I might be a bit slow on the email uptake.
The good news (unless you think not hearing from me for

Peter Provost has a great introduction
to test-driven development here.
Although I haven’t yet read any of the Extreme Programming canon, I have
been doing a lot more programming over the last year than was previously the

I've always been a big fan of shortcut keys. Today I happened
to mistakenly hit a few keys, and discovered a few more I never knew about (this is
on Windows XP).
WinKey + LeftArrow = Minimize Current Window
WinKey + UpArrow = Maximize Current Window
WinKey + DownArrow = Restore Current Window

I ran into something that took me almost all of yesterday to figure out. I was trying
to set up a series of virtual directories in IIS. The basic idea was that I had a
set of ASPX pages and a set of ASP.NET Web Services, and that they should be organized
under a single URL, like http://localhost/MyApplication.
I couldn’t put...

How cool is that? Evil supervillians of the world, eat my Google dust! :)
It’s this
previous post, by the way. Kudos to Rob Engberg for both inspiring the original
post and pointing out the tasty Google goodness.

I think this is
a great, short read. It takes a crack at defining a taxonomy of the role of "architect"
and does a passable job of explaining why the term is so nebulous to begin with. The
dig at the AOP at the end didn't hurt my opinion of the piece, either. ;)

I’ve just created a new GotDotNet workspace for ftpsync,
the tool I’ve been writing this weekend when I should have been doing work.
But yo...

I’ve been on a bit of a quest lately, looking for a better command line experience.
I tried bash for a while (under Cygwin), and
that was pretty cool. It took me back to my Unix days, and is clearly a first-rate
product. But I kept running into differences between Windows idea of paths (e.g. C:\data\writing)
and ...

I'm running smack into two big limitations of WSDL.EXE,
the tool used to generate client-side proxies for web services in .NET. Specifically,
here are the problems:
1) WSDL.EXE relies on the same code as XSD.EXE to map
the XML types into programmatic types. Unfortunately, it generates types with public
fields rather th...

So, is it just me, or is Copy and Paste acting up in IE
lately? I'm seeing this on mutliple machines not even running the same OS, but half
the time when I copy something from a web page via Ctrl-C, it doesn't take. I have
to go back and copy it again.
It's enough to make a guy switch to another browser.

If you don’t subscribe to Rory’s
blog, you should. I find it hilarious.
Rory, count me as a fan of yours.

I’m still reading Beyond
Fear a bit at a time…it’s still excellent. As a species we just don’t get
security, something that has become even more clear in the US in the last two years.
